KLM Interinsulair Bedrijf, the airline is now a major airline and the 20th member of the global airline alliance
SkyTeam. It is the second largest airline of
Indonesia after

Soekarno–Hatta International Airport, as well as services to Australia and Asia from

Los Angeles,
Paris,
Rome,
Fukuoka,
Adelaide,
Johannesburg,
Cairo and other cities in Europe, Australia and Asia. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a series of financial and operational difficulties hit the airline hard, which included the in-flight murder of a
human rights activist, causing it to drastically cut back services. In 2009, the airline undertook a five-year modernization plan known as the Quantum Leap, which overhauled the airline's brand, livery, logo and uniforms, as well as newer, more modern aircraft and facilities and a renewed focus on international markets, and earning the airline awards such as Most Improved Airline, 5-Star Airline, and World's Best Cabin Crew.
The airline also operated a budget subsidiary
Citilink, which provided low-cost flights to multiple Indonesian destinations and was
spun-off in 2012.In November 2018, the airline through its subsidiary
Citilink took over operations as well as financial management of
Sriwijaya Air by a cooperation agreement (KSO)
